Barack Obama Re-Elected Time's Person of the Year

Time Magazine just unveiled its 2012 Person of the Year/Person Most Likely to Improve Magazine Sales — and it's an actual person! In fact, it's President Barack Obama, who joins 12 others who have been honored twice.

The feature story explained that Obama's November re-election gave Time no choice but to grant the president America's most snarked-about honor…

The Obama effect was not ephemeral anymore, no longer reducible to what had once been mocked as "that hopey-changey stuff." It could be measured — in wars stopped and started; industries saved, restructured or reregulated; tax cuts extended; debt levels inflated; terrorists killed; the health-insurance system reimagined; and gay service members who could walk in uniform with their partners…America debated and decided this year: history would not record Obama's presidency as a fluke.

America may have "debated and decided," but Obama's not the only guy who can win an election. In a separate Time web-poll, the people's choice for Person of the Year went to North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.

In other news, turns out there's still a Time Magazine.

Quote Unquote: Limbaugh's Lament

Rush Limbaugh on Sanda Fluke being named as a finalist for Time Magazine's Person of the Year…

.

"It's not something I'm proud of here, folks, I must be blatantly honest. Nobody would know who she is if it weren't for me. If anybody is going to be named Person of the Year on that basis, it ought to be me!"

.

I think this is one point on which he and a lot of liberals would agree. You've got to admit, very few people have done more to further the progressive cause than Rush Limbaugh.

Quote Unquote: Colbert on Koch

Stephen Colbert during his Time 100 acceptance speech…

.

"By the way, if David Koch likes his waiter tonight, he will be your next congressman."

.

The whole thing is worth reading.
